Day one
The trip to their destination wasn't the best thing ever. Yesterday (or was it the day before that? Neither of them were keeping track anymore) they got onto their first flight to Bora Bora. It was about three hours until they had an hour and a half lay off in Los Angeles.
Originally, they had a plan to go to Jamaica or Spain. Until they found out how unaccepting Jamaica was to gay marriage and Carina had already been to Spain multiple times before. So, they decided to go to a more friendly area that neither of them have been to. At first, that destination was Malta, but Carina wanted a place with bigger beaches so they finally agreed on Bora Bora.
The second flight was worse. Maya never got used to flying over oceans, even when she went to London for the Olympics. It was more bearable, being in first class for a bit over eight hours. A lot of movie watching and cuddling - also a few attempts to make it more but there were too many flight attendants walking around.
Then, another lay over. This one was two hours and had a few failed tries at sleeping in the airport as they waited for their next flight. This time, they snuck off somewhere and finished what they didn't have the chance to do in the plane. Luckily they were finished when their flight was called for.
They had that fourty minute flight with a few sleeping families or couples around them as they talked endlessly the entire time. Although Carina's snort was extremely adorable to Maya, it was very annoying to the person across from them. He had glared at them before shuffling around in his carry-on bag and pulling out a pair of sound proof headphones.
Their final lay over was only 25 minutes, the entirety of it was spent on them deciding on whether or not they should get something to eat while they wait. The couple spent too much time deciding and didn't get the chance to even find out if there was anything they liked there. The got onto the last twenty five minute flight to their final destination.
"It's dark." Carina mumbled sleepily, leaning up against the wall as they waited for their driver to arrive. Maya hummed in response while adjusting the bag on her back. They only brought two - one suitcase and one carry on that had all of the stuff either of them would need for the week.
Both wanted to be there for much longer than a week, but with both of their jobs they knew it would be more torture the longer they were away. Instead, both promised that they would travel like this together every year. Though maybe not as far.
Once the driver pulled up and they confirmed the man wouldn't kill them, Maya stuffed their two bags into the truck and climbed into the backseat with her wife. He asked them a few questions out of courtesy, all of the answers he got were closer to grunts than words. Both women were practically falling asleep in his backseat the entire way there.
It wasn't until they arrived that Maya noticed Carina did actually fall asleep. She nudged the brunette gently "Babe, we're here."
Carina jolted, out of habit her hand went straight to her pocket where her pager usually was. Maya got out of the car to retrieve their bags while Carina was getting out of her confused daze. "Grazie." She sleepily said to the driver, waving her hand as she shuffled out of his car.
They decided to go to one of those bungalow hotels, being dropped off at the main building to check in. The woman at the front desk explained everything. The breakfast, indoor pool, fitness area, and a few other things were all in the main building. However, just straight ahead from the entrance was a large sliding door that lead them out to a long deck that lead to a series of bungalows.
Having paid in advance, Maya just had to confirm a few things and take a key before grabbing onto Carina's hand with her own free hand and walking towards the door.
"Do you think they have pizza places here?" Carina seemed more awake now after her short power nap in the car. The hunger taking over the jet lag. Maya bit her lower lip as she thought over the question. "Probably, I bet they won't deliver straight to the bungalow though."
Carina side stepped, taking the key from the blondes hand to open the door since Maya had both the bags. "Would it be horrible if you went to the main building to pick it up when it arrives?"
Maya couldn't possibly ever say no to Carina. So, she started to order it while her wife dug through their bag to change into her pajamas. Unlike Maya, Carina didn't want to wear sweat pants on their seemingly endless trip here. Always wanting to look as if she were going to some top of the world business meeting and look professional, she wore regular work clothes.
Although Carina insisted they weren't work clothes and were very comfortable. "I would be wearing heels, Maya. Ah! Mamma Mia this top would never see the inside of a conference room." She had explained before they left their apartment. It didn't take too long into their relationship for Maya to notice that Carina cared very much about her wardrobe.
"I like this." The doctor sighed blissfully, laying down on the large bed in her pajamas. Maya set the phone down once she was done with the call, taking the moment to look around the room.
There was a California king sized bed with the headboard on the wall in the back. One-step stairs leading it to a large couch with a TV. Behind the TV was a door opening to the balcony. It was like an open-floor plan more or less. Besides the separating wall to the kitchen and bathroom. It was spacious but simple.
Maya climbed over to the bed, hovering over her wife with a smile on her face. "Me too," she kissed Carina on the forehead "I think," right cheek "We will," left cheek "Love this place even more soon." She finished, giving her a lazy kiss on the lips.
"We can't stay in it forever." Carina said quietly, Maya hears it perfectly clear because of how close they still were to each other. The blondes hot breath still hitting her closed lips. "I know, there's a fitness center at the main building. I'll definitely be going to that."
"I meant the beach, bambina. I saw a few hiking trails as well." Maya leaned back, sitting on the bed now. Carina moved her hand back and forth on the blanket of the bed. "You'd go hiking?"
"It's your honeymoon too."
"Honeymoon." Maya gleefully repeated, leaning in to give her wife another kiss until she saw the clock out of her peripheral. If she wanted to get the pizza in time, she should probably leave now. With one last kiss, Maya hopped off of the bed and out the door to get the pizza.
When Maya got back, Carina was nearly asleep. The only thing keeping her awake was the rumbling of her stomach every now and again. She practically jumped in place when she could smell the pizza.
"Breakfast starts at seven thirty." Maya reminded, setting the box down on the bed. Carina was positive that she was so hungry it wouldn't matter what was on the pizza. Whether it be pineapple or pepperoni. However, if it happened to be either of those the chances of her still eating it out of pure pride of her home country were very slim.
Before Maya even sat down on the bed, her wife was taking a bite of the pizza. "Do you want to get breakfast in the morning?" The firefighter asked while inspecting each piece available to decide which one she wanted the most. Carina nodded her head, waiting to swallow until she answered.
"Si, I don't know if I'll be up at seven thirty though." She set the slice down into the box, eyes scanning the room for a napkin to wipe her now greasy hands off. Maya already knew this would happen and had a pile of them that came with the box in her hand at the ready, silently passing it over to the brunette.
"If you wake up and they aren't serving it anymore then we'll go out to somewhere else." Maya shrugged simply before taking a bite out of her own piece. Carina hummed, leaning in to give her wife a chaste kiss on the cheek, turning back to her much desired slice of pizza.
